Well, John Law immediately understood that this was a smashing scene. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this is even more terrifying.

Because he was not in a position to take the offer, the Bank of France received almost 500 million livres in gold and silver through the Mississippi company's fundraising during this time, but part of the expeditionary force was spent on the import of weapons and luxury goods, and Philip V squandered almost a third of the cost of the latter, especially on the latter, which His Majesty spent far more than his father. And then the sporadic exchange volume has increased recently, and the total amount left is more than 200 million points, if Han Guang is exchanged for another 200 million, then his warehouse will basically be almost empty, so what will he do to deal with the future exchange, this money cannot be exchanged no matter what?

"Your Excellency, you should talk to the contemptible people in advance about such a large amount, after all, the contemptible people also need a little time to prepare."

He said with a panic.

"What? Do you need to prepare for such a little gold? It's only about sixty tons of gold in total, and if you don't have so many gold coins, you can just give me gold ingots, as far as I know, you seem to have issued more than four billion livres in banknotes, right? Can't you even exchange 200 million in your coffers? ”

Han Guang said loudly.

This number has caused a lot of discussion around.

Although the French know that there are a bit too many banknotes, but the vast majority of people don't know how much money has been issued, in fact, Philip V is secret, but this secret is obviously no secret in front of Han Guang and these people, the money printing machine they use is imported from the Ming Dynasty, and the ink and paper they use to print banknotes are also imported from the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Excellency, please don't question our strength."

John Law said solemnly.

"Then give me gold!"

Han Guang said.

"You need to give us a little time to prepare."

John Law said.

"So it's always possible to exchange 10 million first, right? Don't tell me what preparations I have to do for even 10 million, if even 10 million is so slow, then I really doubt your ability to pay. ”

Han Guang said.

Ten million, ten million......

John Law looked at the increasingly doubtful eyes around him, gritted his teeth and said, "Of course 10 million is no problem, we don't need any preparation for this kind of small amount." ”

"That's fine, give me ten million first, and as for the rest, I'll wait for you for a week at most, and if you can't prepare enough gold and silver for me within a week, then I'll really doubt your credibility, and then I'll have to take some measures to defend my rights, such as asking my government to freeze the ongoing trade with you, including the arms you've paid for but are shipping."

Han Guang said.

He was a naked threat, but the French really did not have the ability to confront him in this regard, not to mention arms, even if they were stuck in other trades, Philip V could not bear it.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that there is no problem with our ability to pay."

John Law said.

"I'm relieved!"

Han Guang said with a smile.

Two hours later, the guy left contentedly with a cart of gold coins, and then the Mississippi company's stock price suddenly stopped rising and began to fall, while the number of people exchanging gold and silver coins at the Bank of France also increased suddenly.

Those French investors are not stupid, in fact, there are already many people who are a little uneasy at this time, after all, the Bank of France has issued too much money, it has reached the point of soaring prices, and the bubble in it is not difficult to see, but people are blindfolded by superficial things, and with this boom to move forward, although it is still unknown whether the Bank of France can exchange gold for Han Guang next, but it has given those smart people a slap in the face, and the bold may dare to hold on, The timid ones have already begun to panic.

And this panic is contagious like a plague.

"Your Majesty, the French Minister begs to see you."

The attendant reported to Yang Feng.

"Let him come!"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was teasing alpacas in the imperial garden with the empress and several concubines, said lazily.

His imperial garden is no longer used as a seed base, these years he can get the good seeds basically all here, now in the Ming Dynasty whether the main grain or a variety of vegetables and fruits, can be said to be not much different from modern times, especially potatoes have become one of the staple foods of the people, and even the winter market can buy out of season vegetables and fruits produced in glass greenhouses.

Now it is mainly a zoo.

Most of the cute pets, including Rolling, can be found here, such as the emperor used to like to frame his old cat, but after the royal cat lived for 18 years, it has now been changed to hold a red panda, and there is even a huge greenhouse with all kinds of rare birds, and an equally huge artificial lake with white-sided dolphins and the like. The Nanjing Imperial Palace is different from Beijing, the vast majority of this imperial palace is rebuilt, so the number of buildings is much smaller than that of the Beijing Imperial Palace, but the garden area is much larger, in fact, it is a bit similar to the Japanese imperial palace pattern, most of the place is garden, so that there is plenty of room to hold animals.

Anyway, he only has more than a thousand concubines and eunuchs here.

The French minister was soon brought over.

"Sell your territory?"

Yang Feng said with some surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty, our King intends to sell you a certain piece of territory in the Americas, but the price cannot be less than twenty-five million dragon dollars."

said the French minister.

Well, Yang Feng immediately understood.

Philip V is begging for mercy, begging Emperor Yang not to mess with him, who is behind Han Guang As long as you have a little brain, you can guess it, Han Guang suddenly smashed the field inexplicably, who instigated this can also be guessed, Philip V's most urgent thing now is to save the credibility of the Bank of France, and the best way to save the credibility of the Bank of France is to cash in Han Guang, but it is definitely not possible to use the gold and silver coins stored by the Bank of France, those can not be taken out anyway, then the best way is to use dragon dollars, And he didn't have anything in his hand that could be exchanged for Long Yuan, the only thing he could take out was land, after all, he had more than 10 million square kilometers of land.

After John Law reported to him, Philip V directly found the Ming minister as quickly as possible, borrowed their wireless telegraph to send a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing, and the Ming Ministry of Foreign Affairs forwarded it to the French minister in the Ming Dynasty, and then the French minister in the Ming Dynasty went directly to Yang Feng.

Of course, Yang Feng knew before he came.

Now it's just for show.

"Oh, that's a lot of land worth 25 million dragon dollars!"

Yang Feng said.

25 million dragon dollars, that is, 189 million livres, it is obvious that Philip V is stuck with this standard, but this is indeed a huge amount of money, in other words, the United States only spent 15 million dollars to buy the whole of Louisiana, and at that time it was less than 10 million dragon dollars in terms of gold content, so that Philip V had to take out enough places.

"Where does Your Majesty think it is appropriate?"

said the French minister.

"Give me all of this!"

Yang Feng drew a narrow strip of Central America and said, that is, from southern Mexico to northern Colombia, although the area of this place is not comparable to Louisiana, but this place is different from Louisiana, which has hardly been really developed, it has been colonized by the Spanish for two hundred years, it is all developed, or the Indians have almost killed it, and the value is naturally much higher than that of Louisiana, which is wild and full of Indians.

"Your Majesty, that's a Spanish colony."

said the French minister.

"Isn't Philip the king of Spain?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, the contemptible will report to His Majesty the King of our country at once."

said the French minister.

"Then I am waiting for your good news, and I will only pay dragon dollar bills for this deal, and these banknotes cannot be exchanged for gold and silver."

Yang Feng said.

The French minister nodded and left.

Of course, they weren't prepared to ask for dragon gold coins.

As for the result, Yang Feng is not worried, Philip V has no other choice, he can't give Han Guang an exchange, that will make the Bank of France go bankrupt directly, and he will also not be able to withstand the blow of the Ming trade sanctions, and that will unveil the last remaining fig leaf of the Bank of France, and then his Livre banknotes will collapse and then his finances will collapse. As for the question of the Central American colonies belonging to Spain, this is also not a problem, Spain is also his, and at this time, because he is two kings, the scourge of the Livre banknotes is not only France, whether it is the Mississippi company stock or the Livre banknotes are held by a large number of Spaniards, and in the event of a collapse, the Spanish can suffer losses far more than a distant colony.

Although Mesoamerica was developed early, it also means that all the good things have been looted, and all that is left is some land that can be used as a plantation, as for the land......

There is no shortage of land in Spain.

The only problem is the church, because Yang Feng does not allow other religions to exist in his territory, so after taking over Central America, he will definitely purge the Catholicism there, so the church knows that it will definitely oppose it, but at this time, how can Philip V care about this, anyway, he himself is the biggest protector of Catholicism, and the pope will not dare to do anything to him even if he is dissatisfied.

And that's exactly what happened.

Philip V agreed without the slightest hesitation, and then the French minister signed an agreement with the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing as quickly as possible, selling Central America to Emperor Yang himself instead of the Ming Empire government at a price of 25 million dragon dollars, which directly became a royal territory, and Philip sold this land, and then paid the headquarters of the Daming Industrial Bank in Nanjing, and then Han Guang drove into the gate of the Bank of France in Paris, and after three hours, he drove out with a cart of gold coins to swagger through the market again.

Of course, while people marvel at the Bank of France's deep pockets, no one knows that the gold coins are full of lead.

The crisis of the Bank of France is over.

At the same time, a Ming cruiser carrying an envoy of Philip V sailed from Marseille to distant Mexico City to announce His Majesty's order to the Viceroy of New Spain, and just as the cruiser sailed out of the Strait of Gibraltar, a Spanish warship also docked in the port of Rouen.

What he sent was the expeditionary force's first letter asking for help.

At the same time that Philip V saw this letter asking for help, the same content appeared in the People's Daily, and then the stock price of the Mississippi company, which had just regained its stability for less than a day, suddenly fell.

At this moment, French investors are really panicking.

The source of their confidence in this company, in the Bank of France, and in the Livre banknotes, is just these gold and silver mines, they know that even if the Bank of France can't exchange too much gold and silver in a short time, as long as there are these gold and silver mines, it will only take a few more years, and they buy the shares of the Mississippi company to rely on for the rest of their lives, anyway, as long as the gold and silver mines are controlled in their hands, what remains is nothing more than an increase in production capacity, and sooner or later they will be able to produce enough gold and silver.

But now I'm dumbfounded.

This can't even grab gold and silver mines, how can there be a future?

The price of the Mississippi company's stock has plummeted, and it has reached a miserable point where no one cares at all, countless traders crowded into the Mississippi company, but they could not find a single purchase, and the common people who also exchanged gold and silver coins also crowded the Bank of France, and the whole France was in a panic, and even people had begun to flock to the Palace of Versailles.

In this case, the Bank of France did not hesitate to stop the exchange of gold and silver coins, and at the same time Philip V announced that he would once again form an expeditionary force of 50,000 people to go to the Americas for reinforcements, and swore that he would never give up, France would go all out to continue the war with the Indians, no matter how long he would fight, he would persevere, and his own propaganda agencies also started to instill in the common people how scum the Indians were, they were definitely not heroic opponents of the French army, this time only too few troops, It only takes another increase in troops.

These initiatives have had some effect.

Looking at the parade of French soldiers on the streets of Paris who were fully armed and ready to go to the Americas, the mood of the French people stabilized a little, although the stock of the Mississippi company did not improve, but the decline rate was not so exaggerated, after all, those ordinary people also knew that if the company collapsed, then they would really be finished. Without this company, there would be no Bank of France, now a Frenchman is afraid that even beggars will have Livre banknotes, once the Bank of France collapses then their banknotes will become waste paper, in this case, they are still willing to struggle, after all, the expeditionary force in the Americas is only tense, but it has not failed, that is to say, they still have a chance of life.

However, they don't know that there is no longer a chance to live.

The French army was defeated.
